Solemn Greenville

I arrive at Congressman Jones’ office about 4:45p.m. to find several CodePINKers waiting and the Office staff disappeared!

Hmmmm – this is the first time across the country that at the very least the staff has not been willing to meet with us.

On my way into Greenville, a couple of gorgeous wimmin in a gorgeous little red sports car with a black top, have pulled along side me to wave and yell ‘right on’ up at me. I ask them for directions and invite them to join us. They do!!!!

We have also been joined by a reporter and a camerawomon as we express our deep disappointment in the staff’s slipping out the door without talking with us. We promise to follow-up in the next few days and have high hopes that Congressman Jones, although Republican, will join the growing numbers of Republicans who are heeding the Mandate for Peace that his constituents have given him in November.

We hold banners on both sides of the busiest, 8 lane highway in Greenville – a GREAT place for a demo! The majority of cars that zoom by are silent, although so many are positive that the native Greenville cp’er holding the banner with me is surprised! She talks about how different times are now –how even a few months ago we would have gotten booed and maybe even driven at!
